Whenever my library manager and I work the Reference desk together, our time always starts with, "What are you reading and loving?" When I told him I was starting A Thousand Ships, he got a huge smile and said, "I just finished Pandora's Jar!" We both agreed to read the one the other had just read and then discuss both.

I thought this was a beautifully woven story (woven stories?) I learned a lot, was entertained (golden apple story :) :) :), and loved Natalie Haynes' writing style. I look forward to reading her others!

I really enjoyed it!! Although not told in a chronological order, the story was told so well to show the story of the women of Iliad and Trojan War.
As the story shows, stories are written by victors and often one sided.

loved how the Trojan war was retold through the pov’s of all the women and goddesses. But oof it’s sad and gross what they all went through #mensuck I feel like it kind of repeated famous mythology stories instead of more retelling but also I didn’t know a lot of the info so I was entertained 🤪
